This is the most stupid thing i ever heard. sorry if i offended you by saying this, but i myself wish you should be first in the line than me. We(most of us whose pd is later than yours and most of you guys) wish sincerely that you people should get GC before we get. No one opposing your cause, but we are asking to think one more time whether you'll get any benifit from this. IF YOU THINK "YES" PLEASE GO AHEAD, but dont curse or use any kind of bad words, not appreciated.
Very few members of IV are stucked at backlog, so what i suggest is talk to core personally about your cases, ask them to help you guys in finding out what happened to your cases, if a person with pd 2005 got approved and 2004 is stuck means there might be some problem with the case filing, if not yours, your attorney might have done some mistake or so. so i personally think you should talk to core and find a way to solve this problem.
Although, some people may call it SELFISH AGENDA and advice not to use IV platform, I strongly support the cause. Some people may advice that once the labor is cleared, people with 2001/2002/2003... PDs will be at the front of the line. But, when those old labors are cleared, will they be able to apply for I485? DOL may say that by September 30 the backlog will be cleared. Is there any gurantee? Even all are cleared, they will not be able to apply for 485 now (has to apply by August 17). I think some SELFISH people with recent PDs are scared as people with older PDs may take the quota.
Regarding IV platform, it is an organization for the GC sufferers and by the GC sufferers. So this is of course the right place. If IV is busy with other issues, then people have to start their own fighting.
I am neither sure about the legal complications nor have any idea about the legal fees (or who will pay it) etc. Better consult attorneys about the viability of the case.
BTW, my labor is not in BEC and I have already contributed $500 to IV.

here is the thing folks, until now I found no place where it details what exactly has happened. some people say they were racially discriminated, some say they didnt have transit visa...no one exactly says what has happened...
that being said, I flew airfrance, as far as I remember, once and I swear i had no problems..attendants were every polite. Ofcourse on the ground in Paris, when I walked in to a store or whatever , the girl in the store just didnt ack' me when I was asking in English, who cares, I left the store. Other than that, no problems folks... but i do understand everyone would have a different experience...
ps: I just cant believe that AF still replied to the comment/feedback to the OP's "stop racism you.....", wow! that was something..you gotta give credit atleast for that folks..

I think industry and their senators alike will be happy with quota increases...waht they will try to strike out is the extra fees....($5000 now) and also the retrictions on recruitment / displacement policy, which will make H1B useless as it will take umpteen number of months to get an H1B approved.
This ammdt is still difficult to pass
BTW, I cannot find the text of this ammndt on Thomas.
http://www.thomas.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/D?d110:26:./temp/~bdp3oO::|/bss/d110query.html|
I am sure that the tech lobbyist are going to change the rules applied to the H1-B process, because everyone knows the effect of this to the econoomy. I am totally convinced that the strict H1-B rules will be removed.
I am trying to figure out or want to see how or will these tech companies force or lobby to get EB relief.
How important is EB relief for them?
1) they can't hire brains from US universities.
2) they can't hire those who they think would benefit the company but are stuck with their GC process with some other small consulting firm.
I see STEM with advance degree getting relief, the current backlog will not be benefitted a lot (eg. Real hike in EB visas, Removing the country cap). I am not being a pessimist but, I do not see a light in my path. (May be my comments are wrong)
**** Important Note****
After the State Union Speech given by the President to change the Immigration system, we saw a huge applause by all the law makers. So many individual bills in favor of Skill were introduced. Mr Gates, in front of Senate gave a detailed explaination of our problems, we saw few bills after H1-B quota ran out on the second day of the filing date added to the senate judiciary committee.
Our hopes increased after seeing so many favourable documents and media coverage, but what happened in the end.. Illegals were given a very very very easy path to citizenship after breaking the law.They get a relief which we can never imagine will ever happen to us.
Let us say we get the oppurtunity to file I-485 without PD. Increase in H1-B, Increase in EB visas. But still we have to stick to an employer, can't move up the ladder because of the same Labor description needed to be mainain I-485 if we take AC21.
I cannot digest and will never be able to digest that we are not given the oppurtunity to file our I-485 individually and work for any employer.

Gurus,
We have the EAD until Oct 2008 and we still didn't file for the renewal, I am still on
h1 and my wife on h4. we are planing to file EAD and AP somewhere in AUG when we move to other apartments. Please let me know if this is okay or do I need to file the EAD and get it renewed before the earlier EAD is expired. Thanks ...

Transforming members to contributors is good step but before that we have to work locally to convert "Guests to Members" or a IV "Ignorant to a Guest".Whenever i open IV i see more Guests than Members browsing ... :)
Remember 500,000 folks are stuck in EMP based backlogs - Out of that 23,000 are IV members,may be 30,000 would be anonymous guests , and rest 450,000 do NOT know about IV at all !!!
I mean to spread our movement more on a grass-root level we may need to increase awareness in a planned manner. May be TV Ads,newzpaper, Phone call immigrant house holds, Colored Flyer at Car Wiper - WHATEVER IT TAKES. Twist every ears , pull every hairs kind of thing.
If IV can arrange 150 lawmaker meet with 2500 active folks at DC think about how many meetings can be arranged if there are 25,000 active folks !!!! We dont have that many lawmakers ( 645 someone said )
I know talking is easy on a Friday night over drinks than working and that's what i'm doing right now :) but just thought of expressing my views.
Does any of this makes sense ?
We should focus on spreading awareness about IV. I can't believe I was totally unaware of IV's existence until a month back. I haven't done much but felt strongly about what IV's doing. Me and my wife attended the rally and even contributed for the first time ever. We should brainstorm on how we can get more people on board and on how to transform members into contributors.

This sounds unfair. Because of the backlogs, you have waited 6 years. Now you got laid off and you lost everything. Would that be the situation if there was no backlog and you were able to get your green card within, say 2 or 4 years?
I think those government agencies should take responsibilities and compensate for your loss.
Anyone thought about that?

Yes, I would agree this is good news. BUsh has already protected himself from War Crimes by passing the Torture Bill....now he wants to make sure Dems do not start setting up committees on Iraq war, tax cuts etc...he will basically protect himself now for the 2 yrs left in office.
There is talk that Bush wants to do something GREAT before his term ends; and that he would not like to be called a War PResident, I think Bush does not have teh Vision, Leadership or Intellegence to think that far out. He will think short term about protecting his turf, and it is upto the Democrats to put forth the Immigration Legislation on the table - which IV needs to push for in the new congress.

of course, a different visa type, discrimination built into the law.
Discrimination based on what though? That is the important question. To the best of my knowledge only australia has that advantage.

Major reform is "not viable in this Congress," added Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose, chairwoman of the House Judiciary subcommittee on immigration. (http://www.dailynews.com/news/ci_7437469)
There is also opposition to consider piecemeal options which treat legal immigration reform separately.
I am generally a very optimistic person but not seeing whats really viable this year.
I understand that IV is looking into other angles as well. Once again not sure.
Can IV core comment about what our realistic chances are?
Please dont answer "Join your state chapters". I am already a state chapter member.
Please contact your state chapter leaders for information. :) They are always updated with the latest possibilities.

I have a last pay check through an Employer A of August 1, 2008. Earlier before leaving Employer A I filed a H1 transfer to a new employer B and that got approved by USCIS but I didn't start working with Employer B. Now I am getting a new offer from Employer C which is better than Employer B. Attorney of Employer C says that he can file for a transfer through company A as the pay check is less than two weeks.
Now my problem is I not sure whether my transfer from A to C would be successfull or not?
Another thing I have not informed Employer B that I will not be joining him, Do I have to pay him all the H1 transfer fees?

Important of all, this rally does not even impact the participants directly. they are just participating to show support whereas in our case it was impacting every one of us and yet people are reluctant to participate.
Man, wish things would change and we would stand up for OUR cause. I know I am dreaming.
When would we learn that nothing comes to you without asking and that there are times we have to stand up for ourselves?

The USCIS/DOS set quotas for visa numbers because the United States does not want to be overwhelmed with immigrants. And these quotas are spread evenly through all nations and ethnic backgrounds. Considering the populations of the "oversubscribed" nations, this is justified. I can see where the immigrants from these nations feel "discriminated against" in the fact that they receive a smaller percentage (NOT NUMBER) of visas per capita than ROW countries. This does not make the system unfair. And if you think that certain countries get special treatment, think again; there are plenty of people in ROW (like me) who have been waiting for years as well!
I agree ...

Well it would be easier to work with Oracle, Microsoft etc and get their support and provide your support to them.
Get support from whom? The same corporations that want to outsource jobs to low cost countries AND also lobby for H1B increase, again to keep wages low and all this to increase their bottom line. We need to re think our strategy and get it straight as to who is on our side and who is not.

I have used Fragomen in two different situations...
1) Contracted by my employer. This was frustrating from my perspective. I felt a little like an object, mostly dealt with paralegals.
2) Contracted by me. This was much better, I could call the attorneys up anytime, and get an answer when I needed it. Had excellent relationship with paralegals.
These were two different departments.
I do think that I suffered from some less than optimal advice, filed EB3 when EB2 would have been better. That was in 2002 when EB3 EB2 EB1 for all was current. EB2 was a tougher sell to Dept Labor, but I think would have worked, attorney didn't want to risk, and wasn't sure if a downgrade would be offered if EB2 failed.
One thing was consistent.... expensive.
I all but begged them to send out an email to clients referencing DC rally.
I have raised the idea with core of adding a field(s) to profile giving attorneys name/address. If we have a lot of members with Fragomen, maybe we could write a group letter asking them to send out a mass email to other clients.
So please be civil in these public forums.
well any attorney can screw up..so can uscis..its all luck when it comes to immigration..sad but true!
